Edit: I should add I put absolutley no thought into who would be the best to play St Kilda.

I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

Agree!!
It seems that he has been the weakest link in terms of his clangers...

NWBLOODS stats pls!
I don't regard clangers as a useful stat by itself. I note that Brisbane has the third-most handling errors in the competition. They make mistakes but they more than compensate with good play. Would you rather have a player who gets 20 possessions, has 4 clangers but is dynamic and dangerous with the other 16 possessions, or a player who has 20 possessions who makes no clangers but most of them are safe short kicks or handballs (this is like comparing P Williams to J Bolton).
Anyway, for information, in terms of disposals/clangers (so high is good), we have:
McVeigh 15.9
Mathews 14.2
Barry 10.8
Williams 9.3
Nicks 9.0
Schauble 9.0
J Bolton 8.7
C Bolton 8.2
Kirk 8.2
Maxfield 8.1
Kennelly 8.0
Crouch 7.9
O'Keefe 7.5 Fosdike 7.0
Davis 6.9
Schneider 6.8
Ablett 6.6
Buchanan 5.9
Bevan 5.2
Ball 5.7
Hall 4.7
Doyle 3.2
Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
"[T]here are things that matter more and he's reading and thinking about them: heaven, reincarnation. Life and death are the only things that are truly a matter of life and death. Not football."
I am very surprised that Mathews ranks so highly in that category. Goes to show how under-rated of a player he is. He has had a good season IMO and will go close to the B&F

This table is less informative than it could be because it only includes disposals. It would be more meaningful if it included such stuff as hitouts, tackles and the like.
And what exactly is a clanger anyway?
